rings and their prices

[Guest strapper]

on p/chat there is a thread going discussing rings...and their prices...

 

it seems the nwhu are the cheapest rings at 15p a ring...how does another organisation increase that to over 20-25p a ring?

surely most of these rings come from the same place so why so high if the nwhu are making on the 15p they charge.

what are your thoughts.

i know there needs to be funding but at what cost! :-/

Seems they all come from mainland Europe nowadays, 'no British makers no more', and of course they sell them in euros and we buy them in GBP.  Couple of years ago euro = 60p. Today euro is almost par £1. So Organisations that depend on ring sales as their main income will need to increase prices to maintain margins thanks to the poor £.

Yes & plus the tax

[OLDYELLOW]

cant argue at a few pence for rings that in effect last the birds lifetime and if the price is too high then surely there wouldnt be so many sold each year

i think the difference with the NWHU and the GB rings is basically down to overheads?

[Guest slugmonkey]

Our personalized rings nearly doubled this year to 75 cents each if you buy 200 or more

[blaz]

buy less and when you need more ask a mate

[just ask me]

if the birds are are not the price of the ring why breed them in the first place not being smart  here but u feed the parents all year breed from them vacanite feeding medication training and on and on as we pigeon lovers know if they are worth all this why worry about the price of a ring

[Guest BRYANBROCK]

aberdeen federation distrbutes 5000 rings may be more  each year

birdage roughly 1100 first 2 maybe three races at cost of 25 pence per ring

then it drops dramitically

what i would like to know where or what happened to the other 3800 rings

surely they not all lost or hawked

that £950 .00 members pay out what to keep birds at home  why get rings if you not going to breed or race birds  ??????   (shrug)(shrug)(shrug)(shrug)(shrug)
